You're a dinosaur? O.o I have already told you: philosophy has proven WHY one MUST be equal to itself. Philosophy has proven WHY some forms of the concept of 'gods' simply cannot be true. Philosophy and other sciences are not working apart... but rather: they must be joined together.
It is a bit like putting two and two together to get 4... neither has the full scoop, but each provide information that is necessary. Sciences tell what, how, when, and who. But they can never tell why. Why is there evolution? Tell me how it works, give me evidence that it works that way, show me how long it takes, and whom it effects... but with science: you can never state why.
Why must evolution be so? That is the crucial bit of evidence that creationists need before they will understand.
I think you mostly despise metaphysics... which is completely unrelated to philosophy... because (!)it is not based on logic(!)

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
